Bob,
One of my old maps (from about 1920 still shows Ferromonre  RR tracks) shows 
a couple of sand pits on the CNJ north of Rt46 in Kenvil  along with a couple 
of sidings. Right at the south end of the "lake". Only  sandpit on DL&W shows 
along with a siding about halfway between 46 and 10.  You are correct, 
probably nearly all of those lakes were sand or gravel pits  originally (never use 
absolutes, as soon as you do, someone will come along  with, "...oh no, that one 
was a spring, and my great grand father dammed  it..."!

Thanks Jim..
The DL&W siding, it must appear on the West (RR south) side of the  main, no? 
Where does it show the Ferromonte going? Id love to read more about that  
road.. Anyone know where i can go "learn myself" on it?? 
Thanks again..
